From the very beginning, the authentically contagious grassroots Tea Party movement was viewed by the elite establishment ruling class as suspicious. They called us “astroturf” and accused us of being the contrived tools of the Republican Party and special interests groups. But when more and more groups just kept popping up into existence with no political or big money connections whatsoever, the establishment had to wonder, “Who are these people, really?” You see, the establishment doesn’t work like this. They buy their support and give marching orders that are very specific and thoroughly planned out by trained community organizers with strategic and centralized command-and-control techniques. They assumed everyone functioned this way. So, when people started showing up at town hall meetings quoting the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and demanding politicians (both Rs and Ds) fulfill their oaths as representatives of the people and not act as rulers… let’s just say, this did not sit well. When liberty-minded groups started organizing rallies, protests and bus trips with their own money and a handful of volunteers, the establishment must have thought to themselves, “Hey, this is way too organized to be done by a group of ragtag volunteers with no experience in political campaigning.” So, I imagine they did what they always do to any other political adversary… unleash the media dogs and create lies about them, then you gather “intelligence” using the vast powers available only to government… in that order. Now these were the tactics of the overtly-aggressive opponents. The passive-aggressive opponents fained agreement and began co-opting the message and the political momentum with a watered-down version of good ole well-established incumbent politics, which just fueled the overtly-aggressive opponents even more. That is another story altogether.

The results were evident to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear. Take us off message by putting us on the defensive or redefine the message with charismatic politicians who could talk the talk but had no intention of walking the walk… culling the herd so to speak.

Now, they have revealed themselves. They are exactly who we said they were. Even as we have demonstrated character with actions consistent with our stated convictions, they are exposed for their lies, deceit and willingness to use their power to destroy us personally and organizationally. We have taken their best shots and survived. We know who they are and what their strategy is going forward. In the words of a preacher friend of mine, “It’s like saying ‘sic ’em’ to a bulldog!” Tom Zawistowski is that bulldog.

Coupla things: Do you know that the attorney for Lois Lerner comes from Zuckerman Spaeder, which is where the current deputy White House counsel comes from?

Pls see Federalist No. 57. First half has lots of good stuff and, midway through, we are told that if the people tolerate congressional exemption from legislation, it means that the spirit of liberty has become “debased” and “the people will be prepared to tolerate any thing but liberty.”

Do you agree with Rep. Cummings — and the left, generally, that Target-gate is no big thing because leftist groups were also scrutinized?

Finally, do you have confidence that House Republicans will get to the bottom of Target-gate and put a stop to political profiling by the administration?

David, thank you for the information about Lerner. Obviously, I believe that this is a very big deal and that their is plenty of criminal activity, that it ties directly to Team Obama, that the same tactics were and are being used in the FEC and SEC and other Agencies, and that this Administration is a criminal organization. Perhaps Congress should use the RICO statutes to prosecute Holder, Val Jarrett, and the rest of them? I do have confidence that the House Republicans will get to the bottom of this. However, I am concerned that even if they do, it will not matter because this administration ignores the law unless they can use it to punish us.

Many thanks for your reply. Apparently The New York Times has a different view of the IRS situation. calling it a “non-scandal” in an August 17 editorial. Wonder what Chairman Issa and Rep. Jordan have to say about this comment from the left. Appreciate your confidence in the House GOP. I need more evidence the GOP will stand tall against the left.

Would like to see the House GOP refer to Federalist No. 57’s assertion that Congress would not exempt itself from laws made obligatory on the people — unless the people were “prepared to tolerate any thing but liberty.” Seems to me that, in the Obamacare context, reference to Federalist No. 57 would call attention to
leftist hypocrisy and demagoguery. My reference to Federalist No. 57 and also to Federalist Nos. 26 and 46 are now posted on my website–www.lonelypamphleteer.com.
